Strange problem that I've been wrestling with for a while, but whenever I run Audacity, it mutes other audio sources on my system. I can hear anything played through Audacity but not from anywhere else. Previous workaround was to change the playback settings in Audacity from "sysdefault" to another setting and then back to "sysdefault" which seemed to reset whatever it was that broke, but that doesn't work any more. If I play something from VLC, I can open the KDE volume control and see the meter moving, so I know the source is producing audio, but I can't hear any output. I've looked in alsamixer, and everything that should be turned up appears to be turned up. The only certain solution I've found is to simply reboot my system, but surely there has to be a more elegant way.
Any ideas?
